SLC34A2 solute carrier family 34 member 2

Gene ID: 10568, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PULAM; NPTIIb; NaPi2b; NAPI-3B; NAPI-IIb

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a pH-sensitive sodium-dependent phosphate transporter. Phosphate uptake is increased at lower pH. Defects in this gene are a cause of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
